Min +1.3C in Haytor even (and we are not prone to radiation frost being

Will, could you please explain this for beginners like me.


The ground cools through radiation as elsewhere and thus the air in contact
with the ground is cooled. However, the cold air then drains off the hill.


Of course! V many thanks for the helpful explanation. I think that may
be happening here too. Min last few nights: 15th (9.9C), 16th (2.3C),
17th (1.3C).
